A is ok but has always grated a little, much like most of H17's catalogue to be fair. 'Let Me Go' is my fave by them, but as this is the match before me i'll go with the Front, a decent doomy electro tune.

I love A, B was good too though, but it's up against a behemoth.

Never really cared for either of these kind of synth pop sounds but the clunky doom of B hits a little closer to home.

Oh, come on! I demand a recount, but you know, where I have more votes.
Like fast-moving clouds casting shadows against a hillside, the melody-loop shuddered with a sense of the sublime, the awful unknowable majesty of the world.
